Bed of Nails Acupressure Mat - Green

Voted 2009 Christmas Gift of the Year by the Swedish Retail Institute.

Bed of Nails is an acupressure treatment tool for home use that puts pressure on the skin to help stimulate energy in the body that is often lacking due to stress, sedentary work, lack of movement, lack of rest and lack of a healthy living. It is a “recharging tool” that helps balance the energy in the body. If stressed, it calms you down. If tired, it energizes you. Just think of how you feel after a work out!

Bed of Nails is similar to acupuncture; the pressure of the rounded nails against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which provides a sense of joy, energy and pain relief, and oxytocin, which makes you calm and relaxed (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and relaxed at the same time!).

Bed of Nails is an excellent aid in self-treatment that helps stimulate energy in the body. While triggering the body’s innate way of healing itself, it is an effective tool for easing tension and inducing a state of deep relaxation. Bed of Nails may also help the body rid itself of toxins, so it is important to drink water after using Bed of Nails.

Everybody reacts differently to Bed of Nails, and the effects can even vary from time to time; after using Bed of Nails®, you may feel; sleepy, alert, relaxed, happy. Many people experience feelings of happiness, relaxation, improved circulation & flexibility, heightened body temperature, increased vitality, and a clearer mind.

Our Personal Tip : Use right before bed for the deepest, most refreshing sleep

Place the Bed of Nails Mat on your bed or floor and slowly lower yourself onto it with the desired body part lying directly on top of the mat spikes.

Initially, you might want to wear a thin t-shirt or place a thin cloth between you and the mat and slowly remove as desired.

You might feel a slight stinging or tingly feeling on your skin at the beginning. This is normal. You might also fall asleep, this is also normal.

For a gradual approach, lean against the Bed of Nails on a chair, sofa, armchair, in your bed or on the floor to find the right intensity for your treatment. You can then work your way up to lying directly on top of the mat.

Suggested use: 10 to 20 minutes or as long as you desire. Preferably daily. Bed of Nails® Mat, Pillow and Strap can be used for different body parts.

Inspired by ancient Indian healing tradition, bed of nails is believed to have been around for thousands of years. Today it is re-invented in a more modern form, with non- toxic precision plastic spikes that are harmless to the skin but with all the healing benefits of its legendary ancestor.
